What causes epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My uncle is 55 years old this year. He has always been in good health, but recently, for some reason, he keeps getting angry for no reason and sometimes talks to himself. He also doesn't eat meals on time every day. We are very worried. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, we found out that he suffers from epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

Insufficient sleep, excessive fatigue. Epilepsy patients should ensure adequate rest and deep sleep. We also do not recommend that epilepsy patients engage in heavy physical labor or high-intensity exercise, as the heavy breathing and hyperventilation caused by these activities are also common triggers for epilepsy. It is recommended that epilepsy patients engage in light to moderate physical labor and light to moderate exercise, such as: walking, jogging, Tai Chi, etc. In addition to symptomatic treatment for epilepsy, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis, so as to obtain good treatment effects.
